Are YOU ready for Gen Z?

The Gen Z Effect shares fresh insight into the evolving expectations of this hyperconnected generation and how businesses can use gamification and other motivators to engage them and their colleagues across generations.

Koulopoulos and Keldsen have done an excellent job of highlighting the differences and similarities among generations, illustrating how to hone the talents and tap the passion of every employee, so that you can attract, retain, and most importantly, leverage every individual.

The Gen Z Effect will challenge your most basic beliefs about how you build and operate your business. The good news is that Keldsen and Koulopoulos have produced the very playbook we need to prosper in a Gen Z world.

Meet the Authors

Thomas Koulopoulos CEO, Delphi Group

Thomas Koulopoulos is the founder of the Delphi Group, which for 25 years has been providing thought leadership to global organizations on the intersection of business and technology. Named one of the industry’s most influential information management consultants by InformationWeek magazine, he is a recognized author on the subject, frequently appearing in national and international print and broadcast media, including BusinessWeek, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Economist, CNBC, CNN, and NPR. Tom is the author of nine previous books, including Cloud Surfing. Said the late Peter Drucker, father of modern day management theory, “Tom’s writing makes you question not only the way you run your business but the way you run yourself.” For the past two decades, his books have forseen major shifts in business and technology, from the rise of internet search engines, to the advent of social media, to the impact of the cloud on businesses and consumers. Gen Z follows that trajectory, providing a prescient view of how tectonic shifts in generational behavior, demographics and technology will forever change the way we live, work and play.
